In season 16 episode 149 of "Rachael Ray," the show is all about "Law & Order." To kick off the episode, Rachael is putting a twist on Chicken Paillard, a dish that is typically a flattened and breaded chicken cutlet. She adds a unique spice blend and tops it with a fresh tomato and basil salad.
Next up, Rachael welcomes actor Jeremy Sisto onto the show to talk about his role on the CBS crime drama "FBI." Sisto plays Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine, and he talks to Rachael about the preparation he had to do for the role. He even got to go on a ride-along with real FBI agents to get a first-hand look at what they do.
Rachael and Sisto also discuss the importance of representation in the entertainment industry, particularly when it comes to portraying law enforcement officers. Sisto shares his thoughts on the responsibility he feels as an actor to accurately represent law enforcement while not glorifying their actions.
Later in the episode, Rachael is joined by her husband, John Cusimano, for a special cocktail segment. They make two drinks inspired by the show's "Law & Order" theme: the "Special Agent" and the "Judge's Chambers."
As the episode comes to a close, Rachael prepares a dish inspired by the classic Italian-American dish, Veal Parmesan. She uses chicken instead of veal and tops it with a homemade tomato sauce and lots of melted mozzarella cheese.
Overall, this episode of "Rachael Ray" is all about the intersection of food and crime. From the twist on Chicken Paillard to the "Law & Order" inspired cocktails, to the discussion of Sisto's role on "FBI," it's an episode that crime drama fans and foodies alike will enjoy.
